Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.8:

* Added threading support
  - The ability to specify a set of functions to be used for
    locking at runtime.
  - Default implementations of locking functions for pthreads,
    Solaris threads, and (experimentally) NSPR.
  - All static variables should now properly locked.
  - Enhancements to the generic main-loop mechanism to be thread-safe.
    (It is used for the main-loop in GTK+ as of GTK+-1.1.8)
* Portability fixes.
